LONDON, June 7.—(New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—The Ameri- can accent is beginuing to dominate the Jobbles of London's best hotels. A large tontingent of prominent people arrived thix feek both from the continent and the United States. J. D. Crimmins is staying At Claridges. His two sons have left for & tour of Scotland. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lehr are again at the Carlton, having re- wrned from Paris. Mr. and Mrs. 0. H. P, Belmont are at Claridges. Both couples vere at the opera, in stalls, Wednesday. A remarkable dinner of men from the jouthern states was given Tuesday at Hyde Park Court hotel, the diners lncluding Sec- »nd Becretary Ridgely Carter and G. W. Samble of Maryland, George Crockett, Thomas L. Field, Lewis Poisson and Lind- tey Russell of North Carolina, Seaton Loindsay of Virginia and George Baker of Louisiana. A great stir has been made by the pub- lication in all the newspapers that Miss Alice Roosevelt had arrived for the corona- tion, being evidently confused with Miss Helen Roosevelt, who Is staying with Mrs. Cammander Cowles. Rear Admiral Crowninshield is to be the guest of Naval Attache Richardson Clover and Mrs. Clover at their pretty house on La Gilimitro Colonna has arrived for the coronmation and is visiting her mother, Mackay. rs. Munton Jaffray and Miss Jafray have taken a house on Hans road for the season. Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Peabody and Mr. and Mra. Walter Irving of New York are staying at the Carlton; Dr. Chapin and Henry Lee Davis are at the Cecll, while other well known Ameri- cans in town include P. A. B. Widener, Mr. and, Mrs. Hamliton MecCormiok, Baroness von Wrede and Mrs. Josah Quincy of Boston. The last named has taken a charming house in Cadogsn Gar- dens. Bishop Potter is staying at J. Plerpont Morgan's house at Prince’'s Gate. Bon Vivant Confined to Bed. Colonel Ochiltree bas been confined to his bed for a week at the Carlton. He said |yésterday: “The great regret of my life |was I was unable to see the Derby, being confined to my room by the doctor's orders. '1 have seen most of the derbies since 1867, | when Hermit won. “I was at the polo match a week ago a the guest of the Hurlingham club. I over- |heard Shrewsbury's most insolent and pre- sumptuous demand that Waterbury's pony |be withdrawn. Shrewsbury was most un- ! gentlemanly and aggressive. I regard him a ‘Spbtted Barl,’ not onme of the right fter the match I spent Sunday with Foxball Keene at Newmarket. He had his father and De Courcey Forbes as guests. ,Barly on Sunday Foxhall Keene recelved a )letter from the Polo club utterly repudi- | ating Shrewsbury's action. James R. | Keene and the late Plerre Lorillard are re- | garded In England as the real leaders of the | American turf. What Mr. Whitney will do | remains to be seen. They each spent at least $1,600,000 racing in Bngland. “The more I see of racing here the more convinced I am that nothing could be more fairly conducted. Lord Durbam, the Jockey club steward, s the falrest man ever con- Dected with the turf. “Right here I want to protest against the stories published in America about Amer- fcan jockeys not having fair play. There is no jealousy. If a jockey Is straight he is well treated. But such as ‘Tod’ Sloan should be ruled off the turf. If an English Jockey is not straight he will be lkewise thrown off.” Bveryone with whom I talk business here seems to think that what is left of the British empire after the war will be bought up by Plerpont Morgan. “I am & great admirer of King Edward. § think he wil do for London what Louls Napoleon did for Paris. I hope he will get some of his rich friends to beautify Lon- don. My advice to him is to allow the new colonles to have imperial representation. ;"I bave seen nothing of Croker or his stables. “I shall be unable to eee the coronation, 88 I am going next week to Alx-Les-Bains.” Brings Water with Him, The maharajah of Julpur, who 18 fabu- Jouely wealthy, has arrived for the corona- tion with 300 swarthy retalners. He ls re- slding at Maroy lodge, Kensington, a row of sixteen houses close by belng reserved for his suite. He brought a large gold image of the Hindoo god Krishna, worth | $360,000.

As she has no tlara, she cannot go. The duke has only just got bis dlscharge from the Wmnkrupicy court, ‘IM Decessary mobey belug provided by | his mother, who lost all patience, they say, .

SHAH LAVISH WITH PRESENTS Gives the King of Italy a Diamond of Great Value During Re. eent Visit, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN, Jupe 7.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—The shah of Persia, Muzaffer-Ed-Din, “He who caus the falth to triumph,” is here on his way to London. He succeeded his father, Ni Bd-Din, who was murdered in 1896 by fa les of the Babist sect, and is now 49 years old, having been born at Teheran, March 25, 1853, He bas six sons and seven daughters, is an accomplished musician and a passionate lover of flowers, especially roses. Muzaffer- Ed-Din is as popular in Europe as in Per- sla, and the attempt upon his life when he visited Paris In 1900 caused universal in- dignation. While he was in Rome, before he came here, he occupled the sulte of apart- ments in the Quirinal palace, known as the Emperor William suite. He gave the king of Italy a diamond valued at $500,000. PARIS, June 7.—Young Mrs. Shangley of New York, who was introduced to the shah of Persia in Parls two years ago, recently took several gondola rides with him iIn Venice, where she and her husband chanced to be. She says the eastern potentate is not so uncouth as he is painted, that he converses Intelligently about music and scenery, and is especlally interested in the marvels of modern sclence. He expresses great admiration for physicians and de- scribed several surgical operations per- formed under his eyes by his European physiclans, of whom he has three, one French, one Austrian, one English. The shah's present hobby is to have his capital searched for cases requiring surgical help and have them taken to /is palace, where he watches the operations. The patlents are generously cared for thereafter. Mrs. Shangley says the shah speaks French brokenly, yet enough for conversa- tion, but knows no English, except the words ‘“No good.” Under the tutelage of his Buropean physiclans, who are his con- stant companions, he has lost much of his former primitiveness, The shah is still ex- travagantly fond of bon-bons, and eome times eats three pounds in a day. Mrs. Shangley won his undying friendship by glving a genuine American candy pulling party one evening in the shah's apartments at a hotel in Venice. The potentate was amazed to see the flexible mass worked into & pretty combination of vivid colors. PARIS SEES TWO FREE SHOWS American Buffalo Gives One aund a Bear and Elephant the Other, (Copyright, (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, June 7.—(New York World C blegram—Special Telegram.)--Three an- imals, one a native American, the others naturalized, gave Paris lively emotions Wednesday. The AmMerican beast was an old, vicious buffalo, which, when being re- moved from one of the Paris zoos jumped out of a boat, ewam across the river and started on a galloping visit to the Latin quarter. He was only captured after such a bull fight as the arenas of Madrid and Mexico will never duplicate. Two days later, just at daybreak, the street sweepers and first passersby were paralyzed on meeting an elephant and a bear traveling lelsurely and apparently on the chummiest terms down the Rue de Rivoll. The shops, fortunately, were still closed. The animals, which were unaccom- panied, stopped, started again, poked into a side street and then returned. The pair finally arrived at the Place de la Bastile, where both went into the canal and drank as quletly as if they were in the heart of a jungle. A big squad of police turned out, but nobody knew haw to tackle the beasts and as long as they were harmless the cap- tain hated te order them shot. The crowd grew to immense proportions and its clam- oring angered the bear, which grew ugly and trotted away, preceded, followed and escorted by a guard of homor of twenty mounted police. Then a cab came tearing along with Jimmy Lane, the American keeper of the animals, who grabbed the bear by the scruff of the neck, led him to CATCH ALL CLASSES Humbert-Orawford 8windle Continues to Be the Leading Topio in Paris.

M. Lanquest, the notary who certified to the condition of the Humbert Life Insur- ance company, authenticating the claim of a capital of 10,000,000 francs ($2,000,000), whereas no capital ever existed, has an- nounced that he will make good the wild- cat institution’s deflclt of nearly 4,000,000 francs ($800,000.) This step, though seem- ingly voluntary, really was intended to save that very imprudent functionary from Jall. So many high personages have been more or less compromised in the great swindle that the public every day feels more and more certain that many culprits have been allowed to escape so as to avoid a perturb- ing public scandal which would equal that of the Panama Canal company. However, the police say they have already spent $60,000 in trylng to locate the Humberts. This money has been pald out for tele- grams, traveling expenses, etc. According to the Iatest police clue the swindlers touched at Smyrna to coal their yacht, then at once started away again. There are two countries from which It would be difficult to extradite the swind- lers, Argentine and Greece. The Humberts knew this as well as the authorities and it s likely they will finally take In one or the other of the countries, unless Mrs. Hum- bert, who is a great admirer of Robert Stevenson, should put into execut®n a pet project of hers to live on some {gnored island in the South eea. The only member of the family who did not flee, Louis d'Au- rignac, was arrested in the United States on a trumped-up charge that he was sus- pected of having managed some astounding burglaries by which, despite police guardi- ans and dogs, the Humbert Paris residence and two country castles were rifled of val- uable pictures, silver, etc., on three suc- cessive nights within ten days of the open- ing of the famous empty safe. Exact figures show that Mme. Humbert raised within the last twenty years 72,000,000 francs ($14,400,000) on the phantasmio Crawford inheritance. These figures are exclusive of the many dupes who are keep- ing their losses a secret and also of tho large houses and the vast landed estate for which the swindlers never paid, but which property is still available. Although the Humberts lived In a style which cost them fully $1,000,000 a year, the examiners of their accounts think they car- rled away from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. where the elephant was contentedly graz- ing on the flower beds of the square, and with the aid of volunteers the beast shackled and led to a nelghboring stable yard. The keeper explained that he be- longed to the Barnum & Balley show and had been sent to deliver the animals, which had been sold to a French circus and that during his temporary absence the elephant had battered down the doors of the shed where he had been kept over night.

The other was Henry Ridgeway. The Anthony Drexels have left after an exceedingly gay season and gone to Lon- don to remain until after the coronation. The maharajah of Julpur, who stopped here on his way to the coronation of King Rdward, travels in unparalleled splendor. His sulte comprises twenty dignitaries and 300 servants. His luggage welghs mors than 100,000 pounds, not including the pres- ents intended for the king, and other curl- ous paraphbernalla.

She has recently been chaperoned by Mrs. Murray Guthrie, whose husband is a distant cousin of Malcolm. Jeanne Langtry is one of the most beauti- ful brunettes in London soclety, where, owing to the interest the king took in her, she moved In the “smartest” set. She 1s tall, has an exquisite figure and charm- ing carriage, with very expressive eyes. She reserbles hor mother, but is far more animated and highly cultivated.

LONDON, June 7.—(New York World Ca- blegram—Special Telegram.)—King Edward has vetoed the suggestion to have a dr rehearsal of the coronation procession &nd ceremony in Westminster abbey, thinklog that it would lessen the dignity of the actual service, which he wishes to have regarded not as a brilllant show, but as an act of great solemnity. Undoubtedly he has had private rehearsals of his own part of the ceremony in Buckingham palace, where a private ball room s fitted up as a small fac simfle of the sacrarium (sanctuary) of the abbey, where the crown- ing will take pl Accepts Wilhelmina's Offer, AMSTERDAM, June 7.—It is understood here that Mr. Kruger has declined the fa- cllities offered by Great Britaln for his return to South Africa, but has accepted Queen Wilkelmina's proffer of & Dutch vessel to convey him to South Africa, wheo be decides to return there. PATTI HAS A STRENUOUS WEEK Recelves Three Snakes as a Present and Swindled Out of Her Furs. (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, June 7.—(New York World Cable- gram—gpecial Telegram.)—Patti had a ter- rible shock this week. Some fool sent her from Mentone a box containing three snakes, each about a yard long. She thought she was getting a nice present, and on opening the box and seelng but dry moss confidently ran her hand to the bottom into a cold, slimy, wriggling mass She uttered a cry and ran into another room and was hysterical for two hcurs. The snakes crawled about the furniture until finally they were killed. On examination it was found that they were not poisonous restiles. Patti was shrewdly swindled out of a large part of her wardrobe, including all her furs, which were worth a fortune. She sent her husband to a firm which makes a speclalty of storing furs and other expensive win- ter garments throughout the summer. Her husband spoke with a pretty girl employe who took his order. Later Mme. Pattl re- celved a telephone message telling her to prepare her garments for storing, as a man and a woman would be sent to take them. The man and woman appeared with a car- riage. Mme. Patti helped fold and pack for two hours. After the goods had gone an- other vehicle called, when it was discovered that the pretty girl after transcribing the order, had decided that she would care for those furs herself and left the shop, pre- tending to be sick. The man who assisted probably was her lover, who also disap- peared. Mme. Patt! was taking tea with the dow- ager duchess of Manchester when she w notified of her loss. The news fairly d tracted her and it is sdid she cried and called her husband harsh names, not mind- ing the crowded tea room. The young baron is said to have borne the tempest with ad- mirable patience. CASTELLANES’ DAY TO REJOICE Celebrate Family Success at Elec- tions in Spite of the Pen ing Contests. (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, June 7.—(New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)—Nothing so su- premely elegant has ever been given by Count and Countess Boni de Castellane as their dinmer in commemoration of the elec- tion of the three Castellane brothers to Parliament. The most prominent guest was her {mperial highness, the Grand Duchess Marle Pavlovna. Others present were Duchess la Tremollle, Duke and Duchess de Luynes, Prince and Princess de Tarente Duke and Duchess de Morny, Count and Countess de Chevigne, Viscount and Viscountess Vivier, Countess de Gaynay, Mrs. Arthur Paget, Mrs. Arapoff, Count de Lorcncez, Count de Galliffet and Carolus Duran. This jollification did not prevent the validation committee of the new Chamber of Deputies, from deciding, after examining the documents, that the three elections, “each of which Is separately contested, shall be further looked into, it being alleged that the Castellanes used certain persuasive means debarred even In these progressive days. When thoe elections come before the Chamber next week the Castellaze trio may be ousted. ROSTAND IS LOSING FAVOR Chicago Deeision Parisians Been Just, Held by Many to Have (Copyright, 102, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, June 7.—(New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)—After a hot and interesting discussion of the Gross-Rostand law suit in Chicago, which has been occupy- ing the first pages of the biggest news- papers this week, the decision of the su- preme court has been upheld as equitable by several, but most of them cite the de- cision as an Instance of American childish jingolsm. The public, however, was amazed to dlscover the strange similfarity of certatn scenes published in parallel columns. At a committee meeting at the academy the case was warmly debated, but most of the “Im- mortals” being open to similar convictions, shrugged thelr shoulders and applauded Sardou, the prince of plaglarists, when he sald that this law suit was Rostand's final consecration. Coquelin happening to refuse Rostand's new plece just at this time is interpreted to mean that the comedian wishes to avold sharing In the resulting unpopularity. Ros- tand declined to explain the similiarity and burriedly left town to remain until fall, FIND NEW FORM OF ALUMINUM Treatment Changes it Similar to the Making of Steel Out of Ironm, (Copyright, 1%2, by Press Publishing Co.)

It is called evabrite, is bright as silver and as stift as steel. The aluminum is absolutely unox- idlzable and cheaper than br When tested in the state telephone ehops it was found to be equal to every claim.

Last night he visited the Moulin Rouge Incognito, more than fifty detcetives in plain clothes insuring bis safety. Today the prince called on Presi- dent Loubet, who could not resist laughing at his allusion to his previous night's sport. Collisions Becoming More Freguent. LONDON, June 7.—The frequency of British torpedo boat destroyer and torpedo boat collisions with other boats, was em- phasized in a reply of the secretary of the admiraity, Mr. Arnold-Forster, to a ques- tlon in the House of Commons, showing that there were no less than 110 such oc~ currences In 1900 and 1901 In the former year two torpedo boat destroyers grounded and six torpedo boats and forty-one torpedo boat destroyers were in collision. In 1901, two torpedo boats and four torpedo boat destroyers grounded, and five torpedo boats and Gfty torpedo boat destroyers were in collision, ~ NINE BOSS KILLED Meets Death in Skirmish Between Company Officials and Strikers, SECOND FATALITY OF THE STRIKE Homes of Superintendents Are Surrounded by Incensed Union Men.

Va, June 7.—A skirmish between mine officlals and strikers is reported at Keystone. One mine boss was killed. No names or particulars are avallable. WHEELING, W. Va., June 7.—The strike ordered by the United Mine Workers of America to take effect in West Virginia to- day was much more complete in some dis- tricts than expected and less effective in others than expected. The incomplete re- ports are conflicting, but on the whole sev- eral thousand more men went out than was anticipated. The strike affects not only the industries of this state but also the rallways and river navigation. All of the local coal roads suffer. It was ascertained that the operators in some places had secured many armed guards in anticipation of a protracted strike, If not of violence. In a few places the strik- ing miners were served with notices to vacate the houses belonging to the coal companies. While the strike in this state is generally regarded as sympathetic with that of Penn- sylvania, there is a general Impression that the bituminous coal interests of other states have had their influence in bring- Ing on a crisls In West Virginia. While there was various reports of vio- lence during the day, they are not confirmed by the late advices tonight, but the people generally in the mining districts are appre- hensive of serious trouble in the future. Morgan Hanged In Efligy. WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 7.—The hang- Ing in efMgy of J. Plerpont Morgan, in one of the streets of South Wilkesbarre, by a crowd of men and boys, was the only fnci- dent to mar the stiliness of the Wyoming valley this morning. After the efgy had been hung the crowd cheered and pelted the object with stones until the police came along and dispersed the several hundred persons that made up the throng. All the mining towns surrounding the city are very quiet. The news from Wash- ington that President Roosevelt could not find his way clear to take a hand in bring- ing about peace between the miners and operators was recelved here with genuine disappointment, It had been trongly hoped that the president would be able to find some means of opening up & way to peace. Today. marks the end of the fourth week of the total suspension of coal mining and the miners and their employers are farther apart than ever. President May Take a Hand. WASHINGTON, June 7.—The president today had a long conference at the White House with Senator Hanna on the coal strike. The president conveyed to Mr. Hanna the idea that he would like very much to do something toward settling the strike. Noth- ing definite, however, was decided upon. The president also sent for Carroll D. Wright, the commissioner of labor, to get his views on thes situation, and aleo as to what might be properly done by the govern- ment looking to a eettlement of the contro- versy. It is probable that other conferences will be held and the president kept advised of the situation. He will be in readiness at any time to extend aid if it is found that he can be of service in settling the differ- ences that exists between the operators and the miners. ‘Without a CLARKSBURG, W. Va,, June 7.—Reports from all the coal min in this district received today show that there i{s not an idle plant, there being less than one-half of 1 per cent among the 10,000 miners out. This was to have been the central point of the strike demonstration today, but the agitators found an audience of less than fitty persons at the place of meeting and declined to dellver addresses. ROANOKE, Va., June 7.—According to advices recelved by the Norfolk & Western rallway, which controls the output of the Pocahontas coal flelds, ten mines closed in the Pocahontas divteiet today. It is esti- mated about 500 men are on strike. Other mines are crippled. So far there has been no report of violence among the strikers. “Mother” Jones, the famous Pennsylvania aglitator, is on the ground urging the men to quit work and stay out until their de- mands are granted. CARBONDALE, Iil, June 7.—A strike in- volving the 400 men at work in the Chi- cago-Carterville Coal company's shaft is on and may spread to every mine in the seventh district, and possibly in the state. The difference is over the scale of the loaders and trimmers connected with ma- chine running. The operators will appeal to the state operators’ assoclation and action will be taken by that body which may close every shaft in the distriot. DENVER, Colo., June 7.—The conference of the Western Federation of Miners, now in session in this city, has adopted a reso- lution pledging the United Mine Workers' of America the moral support of the Wi tern Federation of Miners in their strike throughout the anthracite coal region., Great Northern Bolle: Audience. ake: ST. PAUL, June 7.—Statements were ob- talned from the operating officlals of the Great Northern today denying that there was a strike among the bollermakers and helpers at Barnesville, Minn. A dispatch was received from Barnes- ville to the effect that the boilermakers and helpers at that point had recelved or- ders from union officials to strike, out of sympathy with the striking St. Paul men. ‘The men at the Great Northern shops at that point, however, it is sald, refused to strike and a tisfled with present con- ditions.

All are remark- Ing on the extreme good fellowship and harmony which prevalls among the entire party of forty-six. At Colorado Springs, where the party was joined by Representative Lobingier, lhl car was sidetracked for a day which was spent in visiting the adjacent points of Interest. Here occurred the only unpleasant inci- dent thus far of the journey. Representa- tive Tracy while on the summit of Pike's Peak, suffered a depression of heart action as a result of the extreme altitude, which for a time seemed serious, but restoratives were promptly applied by Dr. A. D. Stowitz of Sidney, Neb., a member of the party, and the patient was soon out of danger. From Colorado Springs the train, which includes besides Tanglers car, the cars of Zurah temple of Minneapolls and Hamasa temple of Meridian, Miss, moved westward into the great scenic region of the rockies passing through the Royal gorge between 2 and 3 in the afternoon.

PITTSBURG, June 7.—The Post tomor- row will say: The consolidation of the American Car and Foundry company of St. Louls and New York with the Pressed Steel Car company of Pittsburg has been referred to in financial circles during the last week with more or less frequency. Officlals of these big corporations, and particularly the more important ones, bave remained silent on the matter, but Pitts- burg men interested in the local concern, when on the stand concerning the matter yesterday, admitted that there was con- slderable more than talk in the project. At first the alllance was supposed to be only a working agreement, but this idea is now sald to have been abandoned and a straight merger of the two corporations 1s the plan which has taken hold with much energy in the minds of the leaders of the two great enterprises. Should it be car- ried through it will bring into one com- pact business, interests. with a combined capital of $85,000,000, the American having $60,000,000 and the Pressed Car company $25,000,000. It will also merge twenty-two plants, representing different portlons of the rallway car industry, and will give the new combine control of all the parts of raflway cars which form a complete car of either freight or passenger or traction service.

NINE OF CREW LOST Men oo Whaleback Are Drowned by Collisio on Lake Superior, IN THEIR BUNKS WHEN ACCIDENT OCCURS or George Hadley Strikes Thomas Wilson, Outting it Down, Stes SCENE HALF MILE BELOW DULUTH CANAL Oatastrophe is Due to Abrupt Ohange in Orders Given to Hadley, ONE BOAT LEAVING, OTHER ENTERING Whaleback Sinks Almost as Soom as Struck and Only by Prompt and Herole Action is Greater Fatality Averted. DULUTH, Minn., June 7.—The whaleback steamer Thomas Wilson, Captain Cameron, master, was cut almost in two by the steamer George Hadloy, Captain Fitzgerald, master, a half mile south of Duluth canal today and nine men went down. They were mostly men of the night crew who had not time to get out of their bunks be- fore the veesel sank. Names of the Lost. AARON TRIPPS, cook. — FRANK, second cook, Superior. JAMES M'DOUGALL, oller, West Supe- rior. JAMES M. island. JOSEPH M'GRAW, wheelman, Sault Ste Marfe, Mich. JOHN CAMPBELL, Mich. JOHN CAREY, deck hand, St. Catheries, ont. THOMAS JONES, deck hand. WILLIAM ROEBUCK, fireman, Hampton. Wilson was coming toward the canal and Hadley going out, 'fi:‘th loaded. Just before reaching the canal and when about oppo- site Wilson, Hadley was iven orders by a tug to go to Superior. Immediately it sheered oft for the Superior entry and crashed directly into Wilson. Steamer Quickly Sinks, Wileon went down so quickly that it did not seem possible to save a life. One moment the two boats were plowing through the water 200 yards apart; the next the members of the crew could be seen throwing off their clothing and jumping into the water. One man on Wilson, with great presence of mind threw life pre- servers to several struggling in the water. The crew of Hadley also threw preservers to those “in the water. Immediately after the collision Wilsoa pitched forward and went down. As it plunged the crew still on board rushed to the stern, jumping overboard as fast as they could free themselves from their clothing. Wilson did not live a minute after the collislon. During the short time it was on top of the water It seemed to be supported entirely by Hadley's prow, which was sticking in through its plates. The plunge of Wilson released Had- ley and the latter swung back with & tfes mendous jerk. As the whaleback went be- neath the water it spouted like a submarine explosion. Two men that jumped last were appar- ently clinging to the hull when it went down. They were struggling there just be- fore the plunge and could not be seen aft- erward. They were probably drawn under. Steering Apparatus Fails to Work. Hadley's steering apparatus seemed to be out of order after the collision and it swung round a circle several times and seemed utterly helpless. However, f{ts crew did good work. In a few minutes it was evident Hadley was going down and the crew could be seen lowering boats. Some of them got into boats, but when Hadley sunk to within a foot of its deck it seemed to stop and the men clambered back aboard. The race of the life saving crew and the tugs for the wreck was thrill- ing. Hadley would not have made the shore had it not been for the tugs, a that probably means that so many more lives were saved. The life saving crew aid quick and reliable service, picking up the men. Hadley had a hard run for shore and did not win the race by any great margin, for a moment after its bow went on the bottom just south of the canal pler its stern began to settle and finally went down. As the stern soti to the bottom the bow lifted a little and the water en- gulfed the vessel from amidships to stern. Fully balf of the way in from the scene of the accident to the point of landing, half the boat was covered with water, and the members of the crew that were compelled to stay with it, took the upper works. Wilson is in eighty feet of water and only a few feet of its spars can be seen. Wil son was loaded with ore and belongs to the Pittsburg Steamship line. Hadley care ried coal.
